Housed in the current Rugby Museum building on Little Elborow Street, the permanent exhibition will showcase the sport’s Hall of Fame  using the latest HD touch-screen technology. Almost totally interactive, the free-of-charge immersive experience also offers visitors an inspirational journey through time as the game, from its humble origins to its global status today, is presented in an innovative and contemporary exhibition. 

Cllr Michael Stokes, Leader of Rugby Borough Council, said: “With just three weeks to go until the World Rugby Hall of Fame opens its doors it’s great to be able to show residents how it will look.

“The interactive displays have been put together by the company behind the National Football Museum in Manchester and the Richard III experience in Leicester.
